Saturday evening was the opening night of the Brisbane Festival which coincided with the spectacular fireworks display of the ‘Sunsuper Riverfire’.

I was fortunate enough to work as the official photographer for the Sunsuper Riverfire VIP Dream Party on Eagle Street Pier, one of the best seats in the house for the evenings event. Along with portrait photographs of the many guests I was also fortunate enough to get some frames of the synchronised pyrotechnics that lit up our CBD.

To see my photographs from the evening, head on over to the official Sunsuper Riverfire Facebook page.

A big thanks goes out to my wife Céline for being my assistant and getting the images uploaded to the official Facebook page via our iPad as the night went on. I Couldn’t have done it without you.

My kit for the evenings event – the trusty Canon 5D MKII & Metz 45 CL-4.

The last few days I’ve been out photographing for a few corporate clients. Here are some quick behind the scenes shots from yesterday’s shoot at the new Sunsuper offices.

A quick view of Brisbane from the room I was shooting in.

Went out skating the other day with Benny, had a little roll around some new spots and captured a few stills. The above photographs were shot with my Canon 5D MKII, 17-40mmL f4 + a Metz mecablitz 45 CL-4 flash gun.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (German: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), also known as the Holocaust Memorial is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The memorial designed by Architect Peter Eisenman is situated one block south of the Brandenburg Gate on a 4.7 acre site, in the Friedrichstadt neighborhood. As written by Eisenman’s project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. To wander in and out of the stelae is a truly emotional experience. Further beneath the memorial lies an attached underground ‘Place of Information’ holding the names of all known Jewish Holocaust victims.

Today’s post isn’t exactly one filled with joy or happiness, but includes photographs I wanted to share with you all. Images which evoke and capture emotion – capturing emotion through a static photograph for me is the hardest facet in my photographic journey. The lonely solem stroll of an old man through the stelae, head tilted in reflection, old enough to remember exactly the tragic past which lead to the installation of this memorial.

I will be sharing more frequently with you, photographs from the archives of my past travels. Photographs which have lead me to where I am today and I think are to important to be lost left on stored hard drives. Feel free to comment or send me feedback regarding anything I post, negative or positive, this blog is about progression in my art – a progression made easier with your views and interaction.
